It would certainly be simpler if propaganda was definitionally dishonest, but I don’t believe that’s the case.
Propaganda can be completely truthful, it just rarely is.
All definitions I’ve found suggest that dishonesty, loaded language, presenting limited selective facts, and calls to emotion are all tactics available to propagandists, but not required to meet the definition.



Maybe I’m getting whoosh’d, but isn’t that just from AMC’s The Walking Dead?
